Alamo (A9030A) 12x40 Bituminous Carbon GAC 1 Cubic Foot Bag
Alamo A9030A Technical Data
| Model Number | A9030A |
| Media Type | Bituminous Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) |
| Mesh Size | 12x40 |
| Volume | 1 Cubic Foot Bag |
| Service Flow Rate | 2-6 gpm per cubic foot |
| Optimal pH Range | 6.5 - 7.5 |
| Freeboard Required | 20% minimum |
| Primary Applications | Chlorine, THMs, taste/odor, organic chemicals |
Media Loading Procedure
- Drain and depressurize existing filter tank, then remove distribution basket or riser tube assembly
- Remove old media if replacing, rinse tank interior, and ensure underbedding or gravel support is intact and level
- Pour Alamo A9030A carbon slowly into tank, maintaining 20% freeboard space between media surface and tank top
- Backwash media bed at 10-12 gpm per square foot for 10-15 minutes to remove fines and classify the bed
- Run system to drain for 5-10 minutes before returning to service to flush any residual carbon dust
Application Range
The Alamo A9030A is compatible with standard upflow and downflow carbon filter tanks, whole house filtration systems, and commercial taste and odor control applications. Bituminous carbon performs best for municipal chlorine removal and general organic adsorption. For chloramine reduction or high total dissolved solids environments, consider catalytic carbon formulations or reduce service flow rates to 1-3 gpm per cubic foot to increase empty bed contact time. Not recommended for systems with pH below 6.0 or above 8.5 without pre-treatment.
